How can I increase the folder tree indent in Explorer's navigation pane?

Is there a way to easily adjust the indent of the folder tree displayed in the navigation pane of Explorer?

I found Windows 10 to be more user-friendly, but in Windows 11, the lack of indentation is visually distracting and inconvenient.

Thank you,

Mike.

    By adjusting the TreeViewIndent DWORD value under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced in the registry, you need to restart Explorer.exe for the changes to take effect.
